Note Dr listens as the clinic consultation happens. While you take the history, examine, reason aloud and take the biopsy, it writes the record in the background, so your hands stay on the patient and your eyes stay off the keyboard.
Procedure consent on record
What you explained, the risks of the biopsy or minor procedure and that the patient agreed, recorded the moment you take consent in clinic, not written up from memory afterwards.
The result and its owner, named
The histology you sent, who acts on it and who the patient hears from, captured in the note, so an abnormal result never falls between the clinic and the practice.
Safety-netting in the letter
The advice you gave and the route back, written into the referral or discharge letter to the registered GP, the very step GMC paras 69 to 70 expect to see documented.
A reviewed Note Dr record captures more of what a record needs to stand up to scrutiny, the assessment and reasoning, the consent, the documented safety-net and the letter back to the registered GP, where conventional primary-care records measured against published standards routinely fall short.
Standards and evidence referenced: GMC Good Medical Practice (2024) and the NMC Code (2018), with safety-netting documentation studies (Edwards et al, British Journal of General Practice, 2021) and the NHS Resolution review of GP cancer-delay claims (2025).
Ask what you found last time, what you biopsied, or what the patient consented to, answered in seconds from their own clinic record.
Walk into the follow-up already knowing the story, without trawling the notes.
When a presentation calls for it, Note Dr surfaces the published guidance GPs with a special interest work to, from NICE NG12 suspected cancer recognition and referral and the safety-netting it expects, to GMC Good Medical Practice and the PRSB outpatient-letter headings, with the source shown. It never tells you how to treat your patient; that judgement stays with you.

★★★★★
The consent is finally on every procedure
Recording exactly what I explained before a biopsy, and that the patient agreed, used to be the line I rushed between cases. Now the consent discussion is captured the moment I take it, which is where my exposure sat. I check and approve in under a minute.
★★★★★
Safety-netting that is actually written down
I always said the worsening advice out loud, but it rarely reached the note. Note Dr writes the safety-net into the record and the GP letter every time, so the advice I gave is documented, not just spoken and forgotten.
★★★★★
The letter back to the GP, same day
The letter to the registered GP used to be the evening backlog. Note Dr drafts it to the proper headings from the clinic, with the diagnosis, what I did and the actions spelled out. I approve it before the patient has left.
★★★★★
No result falls between us and the practice
In an intermediate clinic the hand-off is the risk. Note Dr names the result, who acts on it and who the patient hears from, and copies it to their own GP. An abnormal histology is owned in two places now, not left implied.
★★★★★
Calmest clinic audit we have run
Contemporaneous records across the whole clinic, with the examination, the consent, the safety-net and the GP letter on every case. Our last record-keeping review was the smoothest it has been, the notes already told the whole story.
Every recording and record is protected by strong, independently assessed security and encryption.
★★★★★
Across a full community list, assessments, biopsies and minor procedures, every record now reads to the same standard, with the consent, the safety-net and the letter back to the registered GP that used to thin out when the clinic ran late. My notes and my letters finally match the work I actually do.

Yes — tell the patient at the start of the consultation and note their agreement; if they object, you document without it. NHS England's ambient-scribing guidance expects transparency and the chance to decline. Note Dr keeps it simple: the recording stays on your device, and the drafted assessment, consent record and GP letter are filed only once you review and approve them.
The clinician who signs it — an AI scribe drafts the record, but responsibility for its accuracy stays with you, exactly as GMC record-keeping standards expect. Note Dr is built around that: it drafts the clinic assessment, the procedure and consent record and the letter to the registered GP, and nothing enters the record until the GPwSI has reviewed, amended and approved it.
Yes — GPwER (GP with an Extended Role) is the current RCGP term for the same role, and Note Dr documents any extended-role clinic: dermatology, skin surgery, MSK, ENT, women's health, headache or a minor-surgery list. Build one template per clinic type and every record follows it — assessment, consent, safety-netting and the letter to the registered GP, drafted for you to approve.
An AI scribe helps with the record-keeping half of reaccreditation: every clinic contact leaves a structured, contemporaneous note — indication, consent, procedure, histology plan and safety-net — ready to pull for your logbook, audit or appraisal. Note Dr drafts each one in the consultation for you to review and approve; the accreditation judgement stays with your assessing body.
Yes. From the clinic consultation, Note Dr drafts a structured letter to PRSB outpatient headings, with the diagnosis, what you did, the onward referral or discharge and explicit actions for the registered GP. The safety-net is carried into the letter too. You review and approve it before it is sent.
As you explain the procedure, the risks of bleeding, infection and scarring and the alternatives, Note Dr captures the consent discussion: what you explained and that the patient agreed. It is recorded the moment you take consent, alongside the procedure and specimen, so the consent reflects the conversation you actually had.
Yes. As you take the focused history, examine, describe your dermoscopy or examination findings and reason toward a working diagnosis aloud, Note Dr records the full clinic assessment in a structured note. The detail a later reviewer relies on is captured contemporaneously, not reconstructed from memory afterwards.
